Beis Shammai say: Erroneous consecration is [nevertheless] consecration. But Beis Hillel say: It is not consecration. How is this? [If] he said, “The black ox that emerges from my house first shall be sacred,” and a white one emerged —- Beis Shammai say: [It is] sacred. But Beis Hillel say: It is not sacred.

[If he said:] “The gold dinar that comes up in my hand first shall be sacred,” and a silver one came up —- Beis Shammai say: [It is] sacred. But Beis Hillel say: It is not sacred. [If he says:] “The barrel of wine that comes to my hand first shall be sacred,” and [a barrel] of oil came to hand —- Beis Shammai say: [It is] sacred. But Beis Hillel say: It is not sacred.
